Hailing from a sleepy fishing village in South Kerry, Bernard is a brand new type of comic; young and rural but very much a 21st century man. His witty observations of young men trying to pull in nightclubs, boyracers, the Irish and French oral and a wildly off topic tale of his insane jealousy of his dog keeps audiences laughing out loud yet engaged in the silly scenarios he weaves.

Where Ardal comes from (small-town Ireland) there is nothing worse than showing off. Yet he is a professional ‘show-off’ who continues to do stand up comedy for money, a very shy show-off (and as a result conflicted) but a big show-off nonetheless (a disgrace to his family).
